Yeah, mean ol' me.
Personally, I think that an approved signal would be helpful, if only if it helps to stop the confusion between "flagrant" and "intentional" fouls. It might let everybody know when somebody is parking lot bound. Of course, the baseball heave-ho used by most officials now seems to send the same message.
Of course, I have also heard the position taken that an over-demonstrative buh-bye display can inflame a situation. There's some merit to that point too imo. My own view is that if you have to unload someone, do it quickly, decisively...and unemotionally. And report it to the bench the same way.
